The data below were collected during a passive membrane transport experiment where two solutes (A and B) were evaluated relative to their separate transport proteins. Transport rate (mmol/min) 0.3 Solute A Solute B Transport rate [S] mM [S] mM (mmol/min) 2.0 2.0 0.5 4.0 0.7 4.0 1.0 6.0 1.0 6.0 1.4 8.0 1.3 8.0 1.6 10.0 1.5 10.0 1.7 12.0 1.7 12.0 1.8 14.0 1.9 14.0 1.9 16.0 2.0 16.0 2.0 18.0 2.0 18.0 2.0 4. Identify the Km for Solute B. Your answer must include the number with one decimal (similar to the numbers in the table) followed by a space and then the units 5. Which transport protein is present in the highest concentration? 6. Which ligand has the greatest affinity for its protein?

Using the appropriate osmotic terms (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) describe what would happen to each organism in the following settings: a. A bunch of carrots are placed soaked a sink of distilled water.

Two to three drops of mouse blood samples were placed in three different vials containing 0.07 M NaCl,0.15 M NaCl, and 0.30 M NaCl. A drop from each of the three vials were obtained and put on a slide forobservation under HPO. The effects of the different osmotic concentrations on the cells are shown in figures in your worksheets. Label the cell membrane for each figure. Give a short description (size and cell shape) for each of the RBC samples on the space provided in your worksheet. Compare their appearances with RBCs in the blood smear. Use the following guide questions in providing descriptions for each item. Which preparation has cells that look similar as those in the blood smear? What does this indicate about the movement of water in the cells? In which solution do the cells appear differently from the normal RBCs? What part of the cell could have possibly controlled such movement of water? What is its property that allowed this movement?
